"With V-locity, we’re seeing an average increase in IOPS of 225% and response time improvement of 67% across all servers. I can safely say this will put an end to our monthly reboots, and defer upgrading the SAN in the near future."

Ryan BarkerTechnology Specialist, Hancock Regional Hospital

“With V-locity we’ve seen a 157% decrease in I/O to the SAN, but for us it’s really about performance. Users are happy, files are processing properly, and work is getting done in a quarter of the time.”

Giuseppe DeBariNetwork Manager,Myron Corporation

“We have seen performance improvements of 522% on our SAP Crystal Server, 190% on the MIS student enrollment application, and an 85% improvement on our Exchange Server.”

"SQL queries are considerably faster, and workloads previously processing 3GB of data within a 24-hour period are now processing 9GB within the same period."

Not only can organizations expect an immediate boost and reclaim 30-40% of their storage IOPS, but many offload upwards of 50% of I/O traffic from storage for big performance gains in the 2X-10X range by simply allocating a little extra memory on key systems to better leverage V-locity for an even bigger benefit on MS-SQL workloads, Oracle, ERP, VDI, EHR (MEDITECH), Business Intelligence (BI) apps, CRM, Exchange, SharePoint, file servers, backup, and more.

V-locity is a “set and forget” software utility that installs on Windows VMs (no reboot required) or physical servers and runs automatically in the background with near-zero overhead to the server. What little CPU cycles are needed run at lowest priority so as not to interfere with server operations in the event that CPU cycles are needed by other applications.

V-locity’s patented write optimization eliminates the severe inefficiencies in the hand-off of data between the Windows OS and underlying storage that generate excessively small, fractured, random writes and reads that dampen performance. By providing Windows with the intelligence to write large, clean contiguous files in real-time, maximum payload is carried with every I/O operation to boost storage performance.

V-locity further reduces I/O to storage with its second patented engine – a DRAM read caching engine that serves hot reads from idle, available DRAM. Nothing has to be allocated for cache since V-locity dynamically adjusts moment-by-moment to only what is otherwise unused, so there is never an issue of memory contention. Many systems serve 50% of read traffic from DRAM if there is just 4GB of available memory that can be leveraged for cache. If a system is memory constrained, V-locity's caching engine backs off entirely.

Benefit Validation

The V-locity dashboard shows the value provided to any one VM or group of VMs by showing the percentage of read and write traffic offloaded from storage, total I/Os offloaded from storage, and how much “I/O time” is saved as a result. Admins can easily see the I/O capacity handed back to their storage subsystem from eliminating inefficiencies, see how much time that saves, and quickly identify key systems that would benefit greatly from V-locity’s caching engine by adding a little more memory.

Free 30-Day V-locity Trial

Anyone can DOWNLOAD a 30-day trial to install on any virtual server or physical server, no reboot required. Add additional memory for best results then simply install and give the software 24-hours for algorithms to adjust.

Alternatively, DOWNLOAD the free Condusiv I/O Assessment tool first, to see which systems suffer from the most I/O issues that can be easily solved by V-locity.
